Kota: Digital Excavations in African Art

This exhibition examines a new digital database created by Belgian computer engineer and independent researcher, Frederic Cloth, to study and reveal the hidden histories of Kota reliquaries. Featuring more than 50 of these guardian figures, the exhibition will take visitors through a visual process to detect groupings and similarities between the sculptures that will enhance understanding of their origins, creation, and function– information that has largely been considered lost.
